I hope finally that will work with Stephen (sfbp) last advise.

HI everybody. Just see that MDS-E12 has the same SCMS on/off thing in its service manual. I need to talk with phamcu in Vietnam about this, as he used to sell W1 "Full Digital Copy DIY" decks some years ago and just have one E12 decks still to sell.

1. uninstall any previous SS + MD driver (Control Panel / System / Device Manager window) 2. download from Sony insider : SonicStage 4.3 Ultimate Edition + NetMD Driver 64-bit Win7 or Vista 3. Setup SS, restart 4. disabled the driver signature enforcement 5. plugged the player in and went to the device section of the computer and highlighted it - the player. 6. clicked on said player and went to the window for it and clicked on : driver [or go to Control Panel / System / Device Manager window]. Browse my computer for NetMD Driver 64-bit Win7 or Vista driver (unzipped) and clicked, update driver. << I am told by the computer that no drivers for the player are to be found on my computer >> Do you have the right driver ? NetMD Driver 64-bit Win7 or Vista look to be the good one for me. 7. Resart and enjoy (at least)

uninstall first the previous driver... even if this the same (but setup during a classic session).

Try this (one time), During the session, install SS (last version) and the W7 64 driver both dowloaded from here ready. And rock.

From W 7 to W 10, you need to do the same thing, loading a new session during which you have disabled the Driver Signature Enforcement. I think you will find yourself here or with Google a step by step help about the W7 64bit procedure.

Maybe it is said somewhere in the manual that you must choose for recording between an analog source, an optical source or a microphone. I did not read it : http://www.minidisc.org/denon_dmd1000_manual/3.html

Flac ---> Wma lossless (keep tags) read by SS --> Atrac, but I prefer real time recording Can't you import in Indonesia an unit which is sold out > 15 years ? Torrents : PM

Note - if you do not know the trick - that you can easily download music (and of course movies) in FLAC CD 16-bit-44,1kHz / 24 bit - 96 kHz / SACD quality (torrents). I downloaded more than 550 SACD albums and that will take years to record - in real time - a part of them on my MDS. Hi-MD adds higher bitrates than the MP3 320 kbps quality, even PCM. Another idea is to buy a recent deck, I suppose there are still many in Indonesia like in Vietnam where I live (I am french), even good Sony QS and ES series.

Sorry but if you mainly played MP3, why searching for an unit that his close to its end of life ?

So good.

Have you tried your ampli tape 1 or 2 REC out ?

Or send a parcel to a member of this forum who have a Sony MZ-RH1 (M200), preferably in the same country than you. After, you just need to download the files from Dropbox or similar.

And the something else will be cheap : around 20-30$ for a similar (same generation) unit.

Back to Vietnam ! Without my new JB930 because of a luggage final weight + volume problem and, above all, my brother's insisting on keeping the unit for him till my next trip to France. Fantastic unit anyway.

You can easily delete any file created on your computer once it has been transfered on your MD disc. It will be seen in the Sonicstage music files database and you will just need to delete it both in the database and on the computer. You can also store all on CD/DVD-R.

I record - in real time - only Flac 16 bit - 44,1 kHz to 24 bit - 96 kHz and SACD quality files. All coming from (tons of) torrents. Good thing to live in Asia for that. The JB980 is a Net-MD unit. You can have the same features with a JB940 (MDLP) + a portable Net-MD unit. Net-MD is very useful to tag swiftly the tracks.

Hi arr-900... I just order a Sony JB930 deck to Pierre "100 decks" Lubanez. Close brand new one its box plus plus... So I will be able to compare it to my JB980 when I will be back in Vietnam. PhilippeC

Please note that 1st Hi-MD generation units NH 600, NH700, NHF800 and NH900 are more reliable than the second gen. http://minidisc.org/part_Hi-MD_Sony.html https://sites.google.com/site/crazyforminidisc/5-the-end---hi-md-2004-machines Be aware that LCD screens fade away with time. collectors : Sony MZ-EH1 Sony MZ-NH1 Sony MZ-RH1 / M200

Phamcu a former vietnamese member proposed - through me - some free MD lenses that has been aleady sent to some members of this forum. I have still 2 or 3 of them just in case. Vietnam is still a country were is quite easy to find old MD stuff, specially decks (then lenses), not Hi-MD ones though.

Just try... You will be able to sell back it if it do not fitted.

Sorry that you come here for the first time to sell a "newly acquired" MD unit but at least your proposition is interesting and well offered.

Wonderfull job.

I was ready to buy one decent - stereo DAC now but as I have bought a Yamaha DSP A-Z1 receiver I have now a 24bit-96kHz/192kHz DAC inside + all DSP effects.So... The receiver as a optical out dedicated for a MD deck.
